Yeah I'm super confused about comics sometimes. Because I'll see stuff that makes me go "wtf? This...really isn't that good..." yet if you go do a portfolio review with anyone they have like crazy high standards. And it's not that I'm saying I'm better but if the gate is supposedly so high, how do you get really messed up stuff mixed in with guys like Joe Mad and Albuquerque? Just bizarre.

Because of time constraints and difficult editors. Your portfolio has to be awesome, but once you're in you can bullshit as much as you want because all that matters to the company is how much it sells. It's tough to make every panel perfect if the editor is asking you to keep changing things right before deadlines hit. Most professionals learn on the job.

lol I looked up that Borderlands comic, and sure enough, they had some of the worst drawings up as previews.

This is why I can't read comics anymore. I'm too much of an art snob. Comics are supposed to be as much about the art as the characters and story. They don't give a shit, though. They just shovel it out, and squeeze as much as they can out of their artists.

Seriously, take the fingers out and start discovering the world. The comics industry is a fucking behemoth crushing any ounce of originality. I'm so glad France isn't just there yet (although of course, mainstream comics do tend to look alike, the problem isn't quite on the same scale).

Hal Foster is the best of all time, hands down.

He started art school in 1919 at the age of 27 and started drawing the very first adventure comic strip, Tarzan, in 1928. In 1937 he created Prince Valiant, a medieval fantasy adventure story set in the age of King Arthur. Every week he worked 50-60 hours drawing on massive 2x3 feet pages, creating one strip a week from 1937 to 1970. Every line was meticulously drawn, there was no fakery. Every detail was perfect. From 1970 onwards he gradually switched to just pencilling until finally retiring from the board in 1975 at the age of 83.

Soon after retiring a fuck up during an operation ruined his memory and he died in 1982, three weeks shy of his 90th birthday, with no memory of Prince Valiant.

Gentlemen, that is a fucking artist. And anyone who thinks it's too late to make it is a massive fag.

I like Bilal, but are you seriously implying that's the ultimate way to do so ? That's a bit insulting. Painting is just another way to draw.

From experience, I can say manga are by far the most enjoyable and dynamic books we can read. There is just something about the paneling that make it way more adapted as a book. Lots of comics are a fucking pain to read, even if they're well drawn, and that's exactly because there is way too much details, while manga artists draws what we should FOCUS on (not saying they're all doing it well and that all the comics artists are like that though).

I cannot fucking believe that a board that is obsessed with perfecting the craft would like a same-face, generic artist like Madureira. I mean the guy is awful at everything, including designing characters. I still can't get over how he ruined ALL the Ultimates (even turning Wasp into a white woman, although that's probably because he can't draw asian faces) and their outfits (that Hawkeye made me want to shoot myself).

On one hand you're listing some really terrible artists (I mean, McFarlane ? Liefeld ? X-TREME and terrible anatomy. And Lee isn't as bad but his lines make no sense) so I'd have to think you're trolling, but on the other if you meant Sam Kieth, he's legit good. I get that some people went "not muh Wolverine" when they first saw his stuff and he's certainly not made for capes, but his process and way to approach painting work really well for other genres.

I have his book Worlds of Sam Kieth and it's fascinating. I really recommend it.

Rob Liefeld is pretty shit if you're into realism but he's a quirky like of mine because he pioneered some good gimmicks to make bad proportions etc. look good... his X force work was horrendous, but he came up with Dead Poole and I liked his young blood comic.

Liefeld seems to have issues with lots of people. Also the Snyder argument is great, just for Snyder's pouch comeback.

Goran Parlov is my current favourite. His work strikes a cartoony realism I love in sequential art. He's a master with the brush, and his attention to detail and sense of energy is unparallaled

Yeah, Parlov's work looks best with flats and minimal gradients. Think Lee Loughridge is the colourist there

I cannot wrap my head around how the artist thinks those horrific freak shows he calls faces look good. I've heard enough from SWC about how this comic is shit, but I never really looked at the art. Good god.

If I could guess it feels like it's trying too hard? It's good work in terms of skill, but the actual design and presentation is well into the uncanny valley. It's trying to find that mix of realism and cartoonish but it isn't working.

Capefags want everything to fit the house-style. It's not their fault, DC and Marvel made capes that way in the first place. Superhero comics have so much rules and codes to respect.

Fortunately comics are much more than just superheroes.
